Well since everyone is saying that I need another post, I guess I'll do one.=)
East to the West by Casting Crowns
This is my favorite song.
I love the whole song, the lyrics and the music.It's just all together a great song!
I'm sure you've heard it, but this is just a little of what I think of it.=)
I love how in the pre-chorus how he says"I know You've cast my sins as far as the East is from the west. And I stand before you now as though I've never sinned, but today I feel like I'm just one mistake away, from you leaving me this way "
I think sometimes we(well at least I do)get to caught up in the things of this world that we start to put thing before God.
Then in the chorus (aahh my favorite part)
He says"I can't bear to be the man I was rising up in me again."
I think that,that is a great thing that he is saying how he can't bear to see his old self before he was a Christian,coming back to him. Also that he just says that he finds rest in the arms of God.
Then how he illustrates Gods love for us, and how he Cast our sin as far from us as possible...Yet we still seem to find it again.=)
Well, I don't have time to talk about the whole song!But i have lyrics below and the song on my music player.
Hop you liked it!
Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight
pre-chorus:
I know you've cast my sins as far
As the East is from the West
And I stand before you now
As though I've never sinned but today
I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Chorus:
Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other
I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again
Your [T]ruth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other
I know you've washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel
But by the truth your word reveals
I'm not holding on to you
But your holding on to me
Your holding on to me
Jesus, you know just how far
The East is from the West
I don't have to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
(The arms of your mercy I find rest)
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other
So this is what I did for Thanksgiving!
